Tuesday September 6th - Day four!

Mandara Hut - Horombo Hut

Approximately 7-8 hours trekking

We start early today as we have a long trek ahead of us. The route takes us along the uphill trail through forest and across heath and moorland. The surrounding landscape takes on a more rugged and rocky terrain and in the distance we are treated to fantastic view of the magnificient peaks of Mawenzi and Kibo.

As we continue to climb steadily, we pass through the cloud level up to today's highest point at 3,761m before arriving at our overnight stop, Horombo Hut at 3,700m (12,138ft).
